It's hard to say much about this without knowing your setup. Have a
look at your config to see where it thinks the SQL server should be,
and see if there's something running there that is listening for
SQL queries. On my test MySQL box here at work, the server listens
on TCP port 3306, but you or your database troops may have changed
that on your server.
